IMPROVEMENT IN WALL-GUARDS FOR FURNITURE.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 123,377, dated February 6, 1872.

Specification describinga new and useful Improvement in W all-Guards, invented by J AMES L. BRANDER, of Boston, in the county of Suffolk and State of Massachusetts.

The object ofthis invention is to provide a cheap, safe, and convenient means for preventing the defacement of the walls of parlors and other apartments by the backs of sofas, lounges, or other similar articles of furniture 5 and it con sists in a guard, of crescent shape, screwed to the floor so that the front or concave side shall receive the leg of the sofa, lounge, or other article, and so that the guard shall act as a stop to prevent the back of article from touching wall of room.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a top view of the guard. Fig. 2 shows a vertical section of the guard as when in actual use.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the guard, which may be made of metal, wood, or any suitable material, but preferably of cast-iron, as they would cost but little, and may be bronzed or painted so as to appear neat and tidy.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent As a new article of manufacture, the guard A of crescent form, and provided with screwholes to allow it to be screwed to the floor, as and for the purpose set forth.

JAMES L. BBANDER.
